The hotel is in a good location. I wanted to stay in Bryson City but there was not available lodging there as I booked last minute. The hotel was neat and clean. The staff was friendly. The pool area is small but the pool was very clean. I love that there is an outdoor pool!
It would be beneficial to have a fridge in the room as I was in the area to hike and would have liked to keep beverage and snacks to take hiking.

The hotel was clean. Usually rooms include microwave and mini frig but ours did not. Floor in bathroom was slippery. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good. Overall it met our needs for an overnight stay.

The front desk staff was good. Continental breakfast was very typical with good hours and helpful staff. Rooms were clean and average size. It's located across the street from the casino and in walking distance of some restaurants and shops.
